Have you ever walked in a shoe that was a couple of sizes too big for your foot? Did having more shoe help you? I doubt it. In fact, I bet that having more shoe did one thing, it gave you blisters. So also having more things can impede us rather than help us. It was the same when David put on Saul's armor, 1 Samuel 17:39, the armor was more than he needed, it would have thwarted his cause. Contentment in the area of things is a tough road for us to walk these days. We are judged by the clothes we wear, the car we drive, the neighborhood we live in …, etc. We are judged by things. But, notwithstanding how you live, well-to-do, or last pay check - to the one before that one, God does not judge you by the things you have. He looks at the heart. The heart that has been renewed in Christ is a pure heart and when God looks at such a heart He sees the heart of Christ. Let us not have these pure hearts fighting the defilement of discontentment. May we learn to be content with the provisions of God and praise Him for them.
